Steve and I walked back down to the water after the others left to work on the border walls. We talked about many thing, but the main thing that was on all of our minds was the war the goddess was talking about.
" You have a cell phone right. Here let me give you my number. That way you can text me if you need me. Or if you just want to talk I will answer any questions. Unfortunately I have to get back to work. Try not to stress over everything we have learned today. I promise I will give you all the time you need. We can take it slow. I won't say a word to anyone. But I need to talk to the elders about this war coming at us. Let me walk you back to your house."
" Okay, I have a feeling I will go for a walk after we get back. I just don't think I can sit down. I really appreciate your support with everything."
We kiss once then head back to the house.
Once we get back to the house Steve kisses me again then he goes to his office. I on the other hand walk around the area. I talk to a few of the people in the village and play with a few of the pups. during my walk I meet an omega named Sarah. She is hurrying toward the pack house when she trips. I help her up but she hurt her ankle. I help her back to the pack house. I look at one of the women in the room and ask," Can someone please tell me who the doctor for the pack is and how I can get a hold of him or her."
Everyone stops in their tracks then an elderly woman wearing an apron looks at another girl who is in her teens, then that girls runs out the door. The woman come over to us and says," Sarah what happened? Thank you Luna for helping her here. She is my granddaughter and I appreciate your help."
"It's okay, I was glad to help. But I am not the Luna."
"As you say Luna. I can tell when a Luna is in front of me. But you might not be Alpha Steve's Luna. I accept that. Oh here is the doctor. Let him look at you Sarah."
"I'm okay I just tripped because I was in a hurry. I didn't want to be late for work. I twisted my ankle and the Luna helped me."
"Hello Luna I am doctor Micheal Sanders. But you can call me Mike. It's nice to meet you. I was here the day you kicked the Alpha's sister. She had it coming. Are you and Alpha Steve going to announce it to everyone?"
"Um I don't know what you mean. I am not the Luna. I just helped Sarah after I saw her fall. Excuse me a moment but I need the restroom."
The older cook turns and points to a door on our right and I rush inside. While I am in there I text Steve and let him know what's going on. I am a little overwhelmed and need a minute. While I am trying to calm down he comes down and speaks to everyone. He asks them to not call me Luna because I am human and need to learn what it's all about. He also says to keep it just between them that I will be Luna once I learn what I need to know. They agree and about then is when I walk out of the bathroom.
Since I am much calmer I walk over to Sarah and see how she is doing. Mike is moving her ankle to the right and left and we see her wince in pain.
I walk over to her grandmother and find out what her name is. She tells me it's Cassie. I ask Cassie what Sarah's job is and Cassie tells me Sarah helps her cook the evening meal. I offer to help her so Sarah can rest her ankle.
What I don't know is everyone is listening to our conversation.
Steve is smiling, he knew I would help if anyone needed it. I made him very happy by just offering.
I asked Cassie," What are we making for dinner?And how does it work?
Cassie says," I had wanted to do spaghetti for dinner. But I am open to suggestions."
One of the Omega's spoke up and asked about doing a barbeque. I looked up at Steve who was smiling at me and then I asked Cassie and Steve," How about a pot luck b-b-q? It would serve multiple purposes. William and I can meet the others in the community and maybe I can make peace with your sister. We can ask anyone who wants to attend to bring a salad of some kind or chips or even drinks. And we will provide the meat."
Just then William and the others came through the door.
"Did I hear you say b-b-q? Oh please make your marinade for prime rib."
"I look at Steve and Cassie but Cassie smiles and says," Alpha I think you need to send out word about our pot luck. They need to link Sarah to let us know what they are bringing then they need to link April to let us know what kind of meat they would like to have."
While he is doing that Cassie looks at the Beta and says," You boys need to bring up the grills. I think we will need at least six, so bring up eight."
As they run off to get the grills Cassie walks over to William and says," Hello William I am Cassie, its nice to meet you."
They shake hands and William tells her he is glad to meet her as well.
Then Steve tells the two girls to get ready for the information. They both grab paper and pens and get ready. I look at Cassie and smile. She leans over to me and says," See Luna I knew you could do it." Then she walks into the kitchen.
I look at Steve who is still smiling at me. I take his hand and we go over near the t.v. Then I ask him," Why are you smiling? What did I do? Was it ok to suggest a b-b-q?"
"Yes, everything is fine. I knew you would make a good Luna.I like that it was your idea to get to know the pack. Besides I love your cooking, and I am sure everyone else will to. I also think it's a great idea to introduce you and your brother to everyone. After all he is mated to the Delta's sister. I am very proud of you and it's actually only your first day as my girlfriend."
"Oh so I'm your girlfriend now am I? I don't remember you asking me."
" Oh yes I did. Remember this morning when you thought it sounded like I proposed to you."
"Well I think I remember something like that. But maybe a kiss would help me remember."
"Now that I would be happy to do."
Then he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer to him. Then he kisses me. After a minute we start to hear clapping behind us. Steve pulls back and then turns around. We are both smiling, and I start blushing. Then the room goes dark, I stop moving. William points to me, and the Beta grabs one of the notebooks and a pencil. Steve puts it in my hands. I start drawing.
When I am done there is I picture of the night sky. On the left side there is a mountain then the road. Then on the right there is a wall with a hole in it." Something is not right." I hear William say. Then the Beta says," That's the area where that tree is. William was saying we should get rid of it remember." Ok so what happened to the tree. Is that where they break through?"
Steve looks at all of us then he looks at the paper and says," Okay so here's what we are going to do. First you are getting rid of that tree. Then you are going to double the strength of the fence. Whatever you have to do just do it. Are you okay Honey?"
I was a bit shocked when he called me honey but I smiled and told him I was fine.
Steve looked at the Omega's and said," Not a word about what you have seen here today."
"Yes Alpha" They all say.
Then William rolls up and says," So what are we having for dessert tonight?"
With that the tension was broke and everyone started talking about food again.
After we got the full list of meats asked for and the side dish lists I asked William and the guys to run over and bring in all four of my bread makers as well as my box of bread goodies.
Then Cassie and I went into the basement to get the meats we needed for dinner. Then we went into the pantry to get the ingredients for the sauces and marinades. As well as the stuff for the desserts.
Once the guys brought in the things I asked for they put it all on the counter the Cassie made them go out and clean the grills. After that was done they went and hid from us.
Then I showed the three young women how to use the bread machines. each one had a recipe book for making bread, then I told them to make any flavor they wanted as long as it was a flavor they knew would be eaten.
Cassie and I made three seasoning rubs, four sauces, and I made my special marinade for the prime rib. once we set everything to soak in the sauce we turned to desserts.
I made two fruit salads, Cassie made three cakes, I made eight dozen cookies, I made five pies, Cassie made three puddings, I also made three pound cakes for strawberry shortcake. And Cassie and I made four ice creams. Then I check in with the girls making bread. We have seven loaves of white bread, nine loaves of cinnamon raisin bread, three loaves of wheat bread, and four loaves if white sprinkle bread. I tell them all they have done a wonderful job. After everything else is finished we turned back to the meats.
Cassie politely asked the guys to start the grills. Mark the Beta decides he will cook the ribs. We have both the pork ribs and the beef ribs.
The Gamma Donnie says he will do the chicken.
The Delta Bryan says he will do the steaks.
The Alpha Steve says he will do the brats and hot dogs.
William says he will do the hamburgers and I am cooking the prime rib.
Once we get almost done with the meats Steve links the whole pack and tells them to come eat. As the Omega's get everything set out people are coming to add things to the tables. Soon everyone is trading their dishes for empty plates. After everyone has filled their plates and sites down, I tell the Omegas that helped me serve to fill their plates and sit down.
Just as Cassie and I get our plates together Stacy comes sauntering over to the table.
"I'm not wasting my time cooking your going to feed me since I'm the Alpha's sister."
"Excuse me but that's just rude. We are not here to serve you. Get you own damn food. This is a pot luck and that means serve yourself."
"How dare you speak to me like that? I am the Alpha's sister you will treat me with respect."
"Excuse me Stacy but I am at least ten years older than you so I would be considered your elder. Cassie is also older than you so she is your elder as well. In my house we grew up with a saying. That saying was "Respect is earned not givin." Now if you want us to respect you, you need to show us respect first. Now stop wining Ang get yourself some food or go without I really don't care. Come on Cassie let's go eat."
As we start to walk to the table Stacy pushes Cassie down and spins me around to face her. Then she slaps me across the face.
Instead of saying or doing anything to Stacy I turn and help Cassie up. This pisses Stacy off even more. She trays to slap me again but Steve. grabs her hand and drags her away.
William and several other come over to see if I'm okay, I tell everyone I'm fine but I ask the doctor to check out Cassie.
When Steve comes back he asks me if I'm okay. Then he asks about Cassie. The doctor and Cassie walk out of the pack house and the doctor says," She has a sprained wrist but it will be better by tomorrow."
We are glad to hear she is going to be okay. Then everyone goes back to eating.
After dinner is done people get To go plates and take back their empty dishes back home. Then I help the Omega's clean up. Once we get everything into the pack house I make Stacy a plate of food them we put the leftovers away. Then I ask Steve to show me where Stacy lives.
He is not happy over this but we walk down to Stacy's house.
"Why are you so nice to her after everything she has done to you. I would make her starve."
" I am showing her that I am the bigger person. I was always taught to turn the other cheek. I won't let a rude spoiled brat ruin the nice day we were all having. So I am taking her a peace offering."
"Well that's her place right there. I will be with you so she shouldn't hit you again."
So I go up and knock on the door. I don't give her a chance to say anything. I just hand her that plate and say enjoy. Then I take Steve's hand and we walk away.
Once we get back to the pack house Steve looks at his watch and says," Damn I have ten minutes before I need to do the conference call with Alpha Mark. Baby the food was excellent. I love you." Then he leans in and kisses me and turns and goes inside. Then I walk back to my place.
